We study cold nuclear matter effects on Drell-Yan production at small and moderate pT in proton/pion-nucleus collisions using a new transversemomentum dependent (TMD) factorization framework. Both collisional broadening and medium-induced radiative corrections in the initial state are considered in the soft-collinear effective theory with Glauber gluons (SCETG) approach. We demonstrate that in-medium bremsstrahlung exhibits rapidity divergences as x → 1 and collinear divergences at the endpoints x = 0, 1 of the medium-induced emission spectra. We further show that the rapidity divergences lead to the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) evolution of the collision kernel and can be resummed into the transverse momentum broadening of particle production. In turn, the endpoints divergences of in-medium radiation can be resummed through the collinear evolution of parton densities in nuclear matter. The TMD factorization framework is applied to understand the transverse-momentum spectra of Drell-Yan pair production in pA and πA collisions and provides calculations with improved accuracy for hadron production in cold QCD processes at RHIC and LHC.
